Job Opportunity: Pediatric Interventional Radiologist

In response to our ongoing growth and commitment to the well-being of our faculty, we are seeking a full-time pediatric interventional radiologist to join our dedicated team in the Section of Pediatric Interventional Radiology.

Our section performs over 7,500 image-guided procedures annually and is currently comprised of four skilled pediatric interventional radiologists. We are supported by five advanced practice providers (APPs) and a Care Navigator, ensuring comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services. Our interventions encompass a wide range of procedures, including:

• Vascular access
• Treatment of vascular malformations
• Hepatobiliary procedures
• Enteral procedures
• Musculoskeletal procedures
• Angiography
• Embolization
• DVT/PE lysis

Additionally, we have a specialized pediatric neurointerventional radiologist on our team. Our section has a longstanding tradition of clinical excellence, contributing to both internal and external educational initiatives. We actively participate in various multispecialty programs, including a vascular anomalies clinic, and are affiliated with several centers of excellence, such as the Heart Center and the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders.

The interventional radiology department is equipped with:

• Two Philips DSA rooms (one featuring biplane technology)
• Dedicated ultrasound in each procedure room
• An IR-only pre-procedure area
• A consult room
• A minor procedures room for low-complexity interventions

We anticipate expanding our facilities with an additional biplane DSA room by 2027. Our pediatric anesthesiology team provides specialized anesthesia services, and we maintain a strong collaborative relationship among IR nurses, technologists, and physicians.

The Division of Radiology consists of 31 full-time radiologists, each subspecialized in Body, Neuro, and Interventional Radiology. We encourage participation in research, supported by a radiation physicist/imaging scientist and a dedicated research coordinator. Faculty members have the opportunity to hold appointments at the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Phoenix), Mayo Clinic, and Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix). Our active teaching and research program includes:

• Three ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology fellowship positions
• Two additional non-accredited fellow positions (Neuro and Pediatric Interventional Radiology)
• Fellows, residents, and medical students from affiliated radiology programs

Our main campus is a standalone 533-bed Level 1 children's hospital, recognized as the largest pediatric facility in the Southwestern United States.

• MD or DO degree, or equivalent
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited diagnostic or interventional radiology residency
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology or Adult Interventional Radiology fellowship (if diagnostic radiology residency was completed)
• Completion of a Pediatric Interventional Radiology fellowship (preferred, but negotiable; the last hire completed an ACGME IR/DR residency without a supplemental fellowship)

• Eligible for licensure in Arizona

We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to diversity and inclusion in our workforce.
